Performing quantum file pattern searching is disclosed herein. In one example, a quantum search service executing on a quantum computing device receives, from a requestor, a search request including a search pattern. Upon receiving the search request, the quantum search service accesses a quantum file registry of a quantum file that includes a plurality of qubits. Based on the quantum file registry record, the quantum search service identifies the plurality of qubits, as well as the locations of each qubit of the plurality of qubits. The quantum search service then accesses a plurality of data values stored by the plurality of qubits, and compares the data values to the search pattern. If the quantum search service determines that one or more data values of the plurality of data values correspond to the search pattern, the quantum search service sends to the requestor a search response indicating a match.
